Product Introduction
Micromill "1/144 Italian Navy Delfino Submarine 1890" Plastic Model Kit.
This 1/144 scale kit recreates the Delfino submarine.
Includes etched parts and a display stand.
When completed, the model measures approximately 167mm in length.
The Delfino (meaning "dolphin") was the Italian Navy's first submarine, laid down in 1889, launched the following year, and completed in 1892.
Commissioned into the Italian Navy in 1895, the ship was maneuvered by two vertical rudders at the stern and one at the bow, as well as two horizontal rudders at the stern and one at the bow.
It was also equipped with two vertical-axis propellers for vertical movement underwater, but these were said to have had little effect.
For these reasons, the Delfino is considered to have served more as a test vessel than a practical warship.
